Summer Reading

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to wish everyone a great summer and also talk a little about books and summer reading.  Currently, I have been trying to get kids and staff to bring in their overdue library books.  However, I would be delighted to check books out to anyone for the summer.  I am going to link some of the best books of the year below.

Falmouth High School Esports Team.

    Falmouth High School has started its own Esports team.  Currently, Falmouth is represented by students competing in four games; Hearthstone, League of Legends, Smash Brothers, and Counter Strike Go.  These four teams will compete in the regular season until February 24 and then enter the playoffs.
    Then, as soon as we are done with the Winter Season, the Spring Season begins.  We need to have our teams together and organised for the Spring season by March 8th. Unlike the Winter Season, in the Spring each game has its own day of competition.

If you would like to be a part of the Esports team or have any questions please get in touch with Mr. Wolotsky or our student leader, Jake Leavitt. You can reach Mr. Wolotsky at dwolotsky@falmouthschools.org

Welcome Back - Library Re-DO!

    Mr.Wolotsky and a student advisory board has begun the process of looking at redoing the library space.  Arguably, the library is the most used space in our school.  Falmouth students deserve a library that fits their needs.  As a result, the student library board is beginning to survey students as to their hopes and dreams for our library space. Eventually, the board will recommend and implement short term changes and, hopefully, make a plan for a more comprehensive library makeover.   Currently,  the small room off of the library beside the service learning office is being re-made into a quiet and comfortable reading space. If you would like to access this space please sign up for a library pass and then sign in to the space with Ms. Julea.   No food is permitted in this space so we can try to preserve the furniture as long as possible.  Eventually we want this space to house student art work as well.
